Ian McCleary

My influences are Cocteau Twins,Jeff Buckley, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, Elliott Smith,Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Leadbelly, and Neutral Milk Hotel. I'm different from most musicians because I dont try to think about my influences as much as what sound good. It's usually whats me.
I began freshman year in a band called the Motown Boys at Morristown High School, and then changed the band name to The Shamrocks a year later. We played at school coffeehouses but nothing much more then that. It was hard keeping members so I began to doing my own thing senior year. The summer of 2009 I began getting into folk music and indie. That's where I found something I really felt passionate about. This year I organized a concert in my town, to raise money for autism awareness, something I feel very strongly about.
